Send Money at Hamilton County Jail

How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options

Overview

Hamilton County Jail accepts money deposits three ways: at the jail lobby kiosk, online at correctpay.com, and by phone through GettingOut.com. In the visitor deposit portals, look for "Start Deposit (Credit)" funds, which cover commissary and other services. Commissary ordering runs from Thursday at noon until Saturday at 10:30 PM, with deliveries on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Double-check the incarcerated person's information (including their ID) before submitting payment, and keep your receipt. Third-party processors set convenience fees and display them at checkout. Posting times vary: some deposits show up immediately, others take one to two business days. If a deposit gets flagged as fraudulent, the inmate may be permanently blocked from receiving future deposits. The commissary vendor (TBE) can bar inmates at any time without explanation.
